Continuation of the benefits of the Verse of the Throne.
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : And Allah’s presence (mu'ayyah) does not preclude His exaltation at all. Among the well-known sayings of the Arabs is: "We have been traveling, and the moon is with us." Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said in *al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah*: "The moon is one of the smallest of Allah’s creations", meaning among the celestial bodies, and it is with the traveler and the non-traveler alike. Look at the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the supplication for travel: Sunan an-Nasa'i 5501Hasan (Darussalam) So the conclusion is that presence does not contradict exaltation in any way, for a thing may be high up yet still be with you among the created things; how much more so with the Creator? We have only lengthened this discussion because we do not like the inquiry to be cut short, even though we have taken our share of what is due.
The student: Inheritance.
The Shaykh : Inheritance, but what contradicts it.
The student: We are a quarter of an hour late, O Shaykh.
